Bob Abboud spoke to the McHenry County Democratic Central Committee when he unsuccessfully ran against Republican Congressman Don Manzullo.
Next month, Martin McLaughlin will take two-term Barrington Hills Village President Robert Abboud’s place at the spot with the gavel in front of it.
There will also be some changes on the Barrington Hills Village Board.

Now, let’s look at the results for Village Trustee on a county-by-county basis.
Here are the results for Village Trustee in McHenry County. Only 23 votes separated the five candidates.
In Lake County, the spread was 32 votes, but over twice as many people voted.
There were about half as many votes in Cook County as in Lake County.
Very few live in Kane County.
Here’s how the numbers add up:
- Colleen Konicek Hannigan – 604

8 years of tyranny was too much; the people spoke and were unified behind a platform of civility, respect, and integrity.
We’re grafeful for the Martin McLaughlins of this world who’ll put themelves out there for us.
Many incumbents got beat up yesterday. Cary, Barrrington Hills, and East Dundee unseated powerful incumbent Mayors.
Not really Allen-
Cary’s mayor did not seek reelection and the guy elected was far more aligned with him than his opponent, who actually made an issue of the current mayor in the race.
